I. What is a simple goitre?
The simple goitre is a common thyroid disease, mainly due to the undersynthesis or relative reduction of thyroid genre, which has led to an increase in the prostate thyroid hormone (TSH) genre and has stimulated an increase in thyroid reparability. This increase is usually either circular or conclusive.
II. Causes of morbidity
1. Iodine deficiency Iodine is an important ingredient for synthetic thyroid hormones, and in areas with iodine deficiency, the reduction in thyroid hormone synthesis due to inadequate iodine intake has led to an increase in TSH genre and has stimulated thyroid swelling. This is the most common reason for simple thyroid swelling.
2. goitres. Some foods and medicines contain goitres, such as sulphate in foods such as cabbage, radish, cassava, soybeans, sulphate, perchlorate, etc. The chronic ingestion of these substances may interfere with the synthesis of thyroid hormones and cause thyroid swelling.
3. Genetic factors. Some cases of simple goitre have family genetic orientation and may be related to the anomalies of certain genetic genes.
4. Other factors, such as environmental pollution, smoking, stress, etc., may also be associated with the mere occurrence of thyroid swelling.
III. Symptoms
1. The thyroid swelling is the most significant symptom of simple thyroid swelling. The early thyroid glands were amplified, their surfaces smooth and soft. As the condition evolves, it can lead to a swollen and hard-line state.
2. Symptoms of oppression, when thyroid swelling is larger, may oppress surrounding tissues and organs and cause corresponding symptoms. For example, oppressive gas pipes can cause respiratory difficulties; oppressive food pipes can cause difficulty in swallowing; oppressive throats can lead to muted sound, etc.
IV. Diagnosis
1. Doctors are asked about the diet of the patient, the area of residence, family history, etc., and whether there are signs of thyroid swelling or oppression.
2. Medical examination. Doctors are aware of the size, mass, no knots, etc. of the thyroid gland through contact.
3. Laboratory examinations include, inter alia, thyroid functions, such as serothyte (T 4), triiodine thyroid amino acid (T3), TSH, etc., to determine whether thyroid functions are normal.
4. Visual examinations, such as ultrasound, CT, etc., can specify the size, form, structure and nodes of the thyroid.
Treatment
Iodine supplementation 1. Iodine supplementation is the most effective treatment for simple thyroid oedema caused by iodine deficiency. Iodine can be supplemented by iodized salt, iodized foods (such as seaweeds, purples, etc.) or oral iodized iodine.
2. Treatment with thyroid formulations can be used if the thyroid swelling is large and the symptoms of oppression are evident. Thyroids can inhibit TSH and thus reduce thyroid growth.
3. Surgery treatment should be considered when thyroid swelling is huge, there are clear signs of oppression or there is a suspicion of malformation. The surgery is mainly carried out through thyroid partial excision, thyroid hysterectomy, etc.
VI. Preventive measures
1. Iodized salt consumption is an important measure for the prevention of simple goitre in areas with iodine deficiency.
2. To avoid over-eating foods with high levels of goitre, such as cabbage, carrots and cassava.
3. Periodic medical examinations, especially in iodine-deficit areas or in groups with family history of thyroid disease, should be carried out regularly to detect and treat simple thyroid goitre at an early stage. In the light of the above, goitre is a common thyroid disease that can be better prevented and treated by understanding its causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods and treatment. If thyroid swelling or associated symptoms are detected, timely medical treatment, standardized diagnosis and treatment should be provided.
